The Talk
"Okay kids, sit down." Doppler ordered. The four ten-year-old Doppler children (Hannah, Sky, Erica and Daniel) did as they were told and gazed questionably at their parents. Amelia crossed her legs and held Doppler's hand.
"We think it's time we gave you kids the talk." She revealed slowly. Each child looked at each other calmly before allowing panic to reflect in their eyes, screaming and racing to their rooms, leaving behind a slight breeze.
"I guess they already know." Doppler said. He glanced at Amelia and both released a thankful sigh.
"Thank God for that!" Amelia blessed gratefully.
Mother's Hat
Scarlet haired Hannah gently picked up her mother's tri-horn hat with her two chubby hands. Amazed, she gazed at with it with twinkling emerald eyes. She turned it around so two of the three folded horns were facing her. Hannah held it up high and then placed it onto her small head. It balanced perfectly at first before slipping forward and over Hannah's eyes. Hannah giggled, pulled it back up straight and glanced into the mirror. She froze when she saw both her parents watching her, both fighting smirks on their faces. Amelia picked up Hannah and smiled.
Father and Mother Day
It was the 2nd of June, the exact middle day of the year. The four Doppler children snuck into their parent's room and clambered onto their bed. Amelia woke instantly when her son, Daniel, used her leg to balance to stand up and Doppler didn't wake up until redheaded Hannah pulled on his ear.
"Happy Father and Mother's Day!" The children cried and presented Amelia and Doppler with four different cards. Amelia chuckled at her children's artificial holiday but kissed each one and praised them for each card. Doppler grinned and admired the hand-made, special cards.
Remembering the Day
"Wow Mom!" Sky gasped. She gaped at the picture of her mother wearing an elegant white gown with her hair cascading down her back in loose curls. "You look like a princess!"
Amelia chuckled as Sky and her siblings flipped through the pictures of Amelia and Doppler's wedding day. They ahhed at the sight of their parent's kiss at the altar. They ohhed at the picture of just Amelia in her ravishing dress and glimmering tiara. They laughed at the photographs of their Uncle Jonathan making funny faces behind their Auntie Ayleth's back, wishing they were there.
The Stork and the Seed
"Mommy, where do babies come from?" Daniel asked. Amelia's eyes widened and Doppler erupted in a fit of coughing.
"Well, Danny…" Amelia glanced at Doppler for help.
"Um, when a man and woman love each other very much…" Doppler started.
"The man gives to woman a seed…" Amelia lied awkwardly.
"Then the woman gives it to a stork that grows the babies and delivers them to us." Doppler finished. Daniel frowned, nodded then toddled away. Doppler and Amelia sighed with relief. "That was close."
"We need a better plan." Amelia laughed before pecking Doppler's lips.
